paramnesia - a condition in which the proper meaning of words cannot be remembered

logocentric, eh?

"To further add to the confusion, Pickford suggested that paramnesia describes a recognition failure for a specific item (object, picture [word?]), whereas deja vu consists of an amorphous familiarity for an entire setting, and a paramnesia can be traced back to a prior experience, whereas a deja vu can not. - Alan S. Brown, The Deja Vu Experience
